SHADE-ROLLER BRACKET'.

Application filed. June 2,

To all whom t may concern.: j

Be it known that l, ARTHUR H. NUssnY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Paterson, in the county of Passaic and State 1of New Jersey, have. invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shade-Roller Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

This intention has for its object to provide means to support a window shade which iay be attached to an upper window sash so that when the sash is lowered the shade will be lowered therewith and will therefore not obstruct the opening forined by lowering the sash, said means being so constructed that parts which would otherwise interfere with the lower` sash when one sash is to pass the otheil (as in cleaning the glass in the sashes) may be readily detached.

lli the drawing,

Fig. l is a'front inside elevation of a fraginent ot' a window, showing a shade roller bracket constructed according to my invention in place on the upper sash;

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the window frame and upper sash, showing the lower sash and the shade and the two brackets supporting the latter in plan;

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of what is shown in Fig l; and

Figs. l and 5, respectively, are a plan view of the bracket with its nieinbers separated and a front elevation of the fixed meniber.

In the drawing the window frame is indicated at ca, the upper sash and lower sash being indicated at b and c, respectively. cl is the shade roller and e the shade wound thereon; the shade roller is of the springroller type and will have asv usual a round trunnion at one end and a flattened trunnion at the other, these trunnions being indicated at d.

To each side rail of the upper sash b and to the inner face thereof and near the top rail is secured by screws f a plate g which projects beyond the inner edge of the rail as shown in Figure t and has extensions g curved rearwardly substantially into the forin of hooks, the saine rigidly securing in place a vertical pin zI which is generally cylindrical except that between the hooks and above and below them the material thereof is removed in a manner to leave flat faces la arranged in a plane forming an 1924.

acute angle with the plate g; the pin is therefore as to the portions mentioned thinned.

An angular bracket is pivotally jointed by nieans of the pin 7i, to the sash structure, here taken as including the sash proper and plate g. In the present case this bracket includes two sect-ions. One section is a strip of sheet metal bent transversely to substantially a right angle. One arm has three eX- tensions at its free end which are curved, in the opposite direction to which the angle of the strip is formed, into the forln of hooks j adapted to lit around the pin It; these hooks forni a'pivot oint between the plate g of the sash structure and the section y' of the bracket, the latter being adapted to swing from a position in which the arni thereof which has the hooks ab-uts and bears substantially againstthe plate g as shown by dotted lines in Figure 4. The other section of the bracket is a plain strip 7c provided with a suitable hole to fit the particular trunnion CZ for which it is adapted. The section is secured to the free arni of the section j of the bracket by a bolt Z and nut m which clamps theni together, said arni having a longitudinal slot fn, to permit adjustment of the section 7c lengthwise of said arm and the arm and section 7c having intermeshing vertical serrations as shown in figure 4 which, when the two parts are clamped up tight, insure the section 7c being maintained in the upright position.

The norinal position of the parts is shown in Figure 2. Both brackets have the arms which afford the joints between them and the sash structure abutting the latter (more specifically, the plates g), each being held from swinging inwardly from this position by the shade roller whose trunnions are then engaged in the hol-es k of the sections 7c of the brackets and each bracket being prevented from sliding inwardly, independently of the shade roller, because the entrance to each hook is narrower than the major width of the pin then presented. If the upper sash is then lowered, as shown in Figure 1, the shade will be lowered with it and so leave a clear opening above the sash as shown at Figure l. The brackets of course project into the path of inoveinent of the lower sash and will therefore be an ob-l struction to either sash passing the other, as when the windows are to be washed. There thicknesses of the pin are new properly pre# sentedj @for thisy purpose.

Having thus :fully described my invention, what claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is Y j y l. ncombination, a sash structure and a bracket "termed angular in a horizontal plane and adapted to support onone arm thereof a shaderoller arranged at the same side `otsaid arm as the other arm projects therefromffsaid bracket having its secondnamed. arnr pivotallyv jointed te the sash structure and thereby pivotally movable in a horizontal plane andlhaving the yrelatively cater face thereof adapted to abut said struc ture when the arm is swung in one direction and being' then interlocked by the joint to said structure against detachment there from butbeing detachable `from said support at the joint When the shade roller is re- 'inoved upon swinging the bracket in the opposite direction.

2. A shade roller supporting ine-ans including a fixed member adapted to be secured to a supporting' surface and an angu lar bracket having one arm pivotally jointed to said member and adapted to be swung1 in one direction against the same, the other arm oit the bracket then projecting from said surface and said bracket being then interlecked by the joint to said member against. detachmenttherefrom but being detachaliale iroin said member at the joint upon swine;- ing the bracket in the opposite direction.

In testimony7 whereof I ath); my signature.
